World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2019 | Globalization 4.0: Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

ALLELES Covers on display as part of the ACCESS + ABILITY Exhibition at the annual meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland


“More than 1 billion people are living with a disability, according to the World Health
Organization. And any one of us can acquire a disability at any time. So, how can we
ensure that those with disabilities are heard?

ACCESS+ABILITY is an exhibition of some of the most ingenious designs made by and
with people with disabilities. It demonstrates how designing for inclusion spurs innovation 
and benefits everyone. We hope that you returned home from Davos inspired and willing to
engage in a dialogue on how your organization and community can become more accessible
and truly inclusive.”

Originally organized by Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, this
adaptation is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the World
Economic Forum. It was designed in consultation with Pro Infirmis, the leading
Swiss agency for the support and inclusion of people with disabilities.
